Islamism

Islamism is the belief that society should be ruled by strict adherence to the rules of Islam laid down in the Quran and hadiths, advocating the implementation of sharia law, pan-Islamic unity, the establishment of an Islamic state, and the removal of all Western influences from the Muslim World. In extreme cases, it can be interpreted as meaning that Islam should rule the world and conquer all non-Muslim countries, and that beheading, polygamy, forced paying of charity and religious taxes, amputation, capital punishment, and enforced modesty should be influenced. Terrorist groups such as the Islamic State, al-Qaeda, Ahrar ash-Sham, and the Taliban sought to implement Islamism in their societies.
